Doggie

"Textured illustrations and clean lines complement this story about the love between people and pets. A little boy wants a dog, but his mother refuses, saying dogs are too much work. When a cat shows up on their doorstep on a rainy night, the boy is disappointed in the new addition; he names her Doggie in hopes he can pretend she's a dog. Once he learns to accept Doggie as she is, he finds that cats can be a human's best friend, too." - Foreword Reviews
